Apple’s long-rumored smart glasses are finally taking shape, and they’re bringing Apple Intelligence along for the ride. A new report claims the glasses, codenamed N50, will scan your environment and deliver information straight to your eyes—without diving fully into augmented reality.
Apple aims for sleek design, not full AR
Mark Gurman’s latest report says the glasses won’t flood your vision with graphics. Instead, they’ll use AI to analyze surroundings and discreetly feed useful info to the wearer. Think lightweight assistance rather than full-blown holograms.
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 launches late 2024 with better gaming and faster speeds. Arriving first in Xiaomi 16 and flagship Android phones.
Apple is reportedly focused on making the glasses comfortable, stylish, and easier to afford than the $3,499 Vision Pro. Real-world details are still under wraps, but expectations are rising.
Apple Smart Glasses set to challenge Meta’s lead
Apple isn’t launching into an empty field. Meta is already pushing ahead with its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, blending cameras, AI, and sleek design. Meta plans to release an even more advanced model with built-in displays by October, reportedly priced over $1,000.
Apple’s answer seems clear: smarter glasses with cleaner design, tight AI integration, and less hardware bulk.
AI features will power up the glasses
The big sell for Apple Smart Glasses is how they’ll integrate with Apple Intelligence. Early leaks suggest features like environment recognition, real-time summaries, and smarter notifications could be core to the experience.
Unlike Vision Pro, these glasses won’t aim to replace your phone or create virtual worlds. They’re more of a hands-free extension—quietly feeding key info without demanding your full attention.
No launch date yet for Apple Smart Glasses
While development is accelerating, don’t expect an unveiling this year. Gurman hints that a 2027 debut is still the most likely timeline, alongside camera-equipped AirPods rumored to be in the works.
Meanwhile, Meta races to stay ahead. If Apple delivers on its promise of AI-driven smart glasses, the fight for your face is about to get a lot more interesting.
